Hear, hear. At the company I work for, all the code is perl/web development --- and we wouldn't dream of hiring one of those programmers. In fact, I think decreasing the number of those programmers in existence would be a good way to /increase/ the quantity and quality of the programs in existence; those are the sorts of programmers that, if they ever found a new career, we'd have to put three additional programmers out of a job just to break even. <snip> jcc _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
